Representation Summary:

Support the allocation of the Ipswich Garden Suburb as a key element of the spatial strategy. However CS10 is not effective since it establishes inflexible and overly detailed policy requirements. The land use budget, land use annotations set out on the Proposals Map, and the details set out in Table 8B should be deleted. The IGS is supported by a draft SPD which provides a more flexible means of co-ordinating long term development. However, we have concerns that viability has not been fully reflected in the guidance. Including SPD detail in policy reduces flexibility to deal with changing circumstances.
